I found a box of Speer 88g 9mm hollow points in an old box of my old reloading stuff. I don’t remember buying them but must have! I know they are old because the price tag is from a store that went out about 20 years ago and the price tag is $2.99.

Well I don' have any load data for anything smaller than 90g HPs!

Does anyone have a Speer book that may have the 88g in it?

Thanks

Rod

Don't you just love it when you come across old forgotten treasures like that? It's like Christmas a month early. The nostalgia factor is considerable, especially when the price stickers are still in place.

As to the weight difference, I wouldn't worry about the 2.0 grains when it comes to pistol bullets. However, I'll check my old manals and see if they're listed.

By the way, the data posted earlier in tabular form was transcribed from the Speer No. 10 manual, page 348.  Happy loading!:roflmao:
